[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1600918, member: 18945"] More union propaganda. [url=https://postimages.org/][img]https://i.postimg.cc/Px2zWq69/unionlackeys2.jpg[/img][/url] I knew lots of union people in upstream O&G, none in downstream. My own father was a union member with Humble, then Exxon when Humble got gobbled up by standard oil in '73. Said the bitterest pill he ever had to swallow in his life was having to join their union...made no sense to him why anyone needed someone else to fight their battles for him. He was fiercely loyal to Humble and Exxon but despised OCAW. He had lots of memorabilia from both Humble and Exxon, not a single thing from OCAW did he ever keep. Before I joined the Marines, I worked for an independent non-union contractor in Humble's Baytown refinery. My best friend worked for a unionized contractor doing the same thing I was. Every Friday, we took our paychecks and cashed 'em, then we had to go by his union office so he could give part of his paycheck to someone else. Made no sense to me, but then too, he wasn't the smartest cookie in the jar anyway. Some people can fight their own battles in life, some don't have the guts to. [/QUOTE]
